Meryl Davis (West Bloomfield) and Charlie White (Bloomfield Hills) took gold in ice dancing Monday becoming the first U.S. pair to win Olympic gold in the event.

“It hasn’t sunk it yet,” Davis told USA Today. “Not even close We feel like maybe it will take seeing our families and friends for it to really sink in. We were saying that we prepared so well for what it was we wanted to put onto the ice that we don’t even know ho to react now. We were so focused on the event that now that it’s over we’re like, ‘Where do we go? What do we do?’ ”

Davis and White finished with a total of 195.52 points. Canada’s Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, who train with Davis and White, took silver with 190.99 points. Russia’s Elena Ilinykh and Nikita Katsalapov won bronze.

Snowboardcross postponed

Iron River’s Nick Baumgartner was scheduled to compete in the men’s snowboardcross Monday, but it was postponed due to fog.

It has been rescheduled for Tuesday and will start under a different format. There will be no qualifying and racers will be bracketed based on their world ranking.

There will be seven heats of five riders and one heat of four with the top three in each advancing to the quarterfinals.

“I’m ready for battle, I’m prepared, I’m thankful for my family, my beautiful son, my friends! I’m in a great place to make this Dream, Reality,” Baumgartner Tweeted.
